Ford

AVAILABILITY DATE: TBD; after patella surgery

Ford is a sweet 4-year-old Pomeranian who recently found himself in the care of OC Pom Rescue after being surrendered by his previous owner. While we don't know everything he's been through, we do know that he deserves a fresh start—and right now, he needs medical care to get there.

After coming into rescue, Ford was diagnosed with a medial patellar luxation, commonly known as a luxating patella. This painful orthopedic condition causes his kneecap to slip out of place, leading to discomfort and instability in his hind leg. Although Ford continues to get around surprisingly well and hasn't let his condition dampen his spirit, the issue will only become more painful over time without surgical intervention.

Despite everything, Ford remains a gentle, easygoing little dog. He enjoys relaxing on the couch, playing with his favorite toys, and soaking up attention from the people around him. Everyone who meets him quickly falls in love with his sweet personality.

Ford's veterinary team has recommended surgery to correct the luxating patella and help prevent further pain and mobility issues. This procedure will not only improve his comfort and quality of life, but it will also help prepare him for adoption so he can find the loving forever home he deserves.

The cost of Ford's surgery and related medical care is estimated at $5,399. As a rescue organization, OC Pom Rescue is committed to giving dogs like Ford every chance at a healthy future, but we cannot do it alone.

Please consider making a donation toward Ford's medical care. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps bring him one step closer to a pain-free life and the fresh start he deserves.
